Life After You – Lucie Brownlee, touching yet funny biography of a widow

The Light Between Oceans – L. Stedman, perfect blend of love, betrayal, and how forgiveness is the ultimate gift

Best Concert we attended this year

Universe 217/Mother of Millions – mind-blowing/numbing experience

Most notable moments of 2016

The moment our album came out!!! We had our first live show!!!

Disappointment(s) of 2016

Everything. Racism, sexism, rape going unpunished if you’re white and rich, ongoing war in Syria, ongoing apartheid in Palestine and other outdated issues that have existed (sadly) since my birth. Oh, and the 100+ celebrity deaths.

What we would like / wish for next year

May next year bring fame and recognition to the awesome and worthy Greek Rock-Metal scene and may all bands that deserve it succeed in their dreams and aspirations. Among them, naturally, The Rockin’ Dead as well!

Costas

Favorite Movies for 2016

Anthropoid – A Suspense World War II historical thriller telling the story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by exiled Czechoslovak soldiers on 27 May 1942

The Hateful 8 – Come on…the 30th of December 2015 counts as a 2016 film…Tarantino at its best, I thought I was reading a twisted and darker version of an Agatha Christie book.

The Purge: Election Year – Not as good as the previous ones but still the concept is frightingly disturbing

Bridget Jone’s Baby – Yep, that’s right, I said it, I meant it and I’m here to represent it…can’t take it back now!

Favorite Albums for 2016

The Pretty Reckless – Who You Selling For, A great album, though it’s not what we expected from Taylor, but then again that’s the thing about her, she’s totally unpredictable…and sexy too, and has a great a voice…

Sixx AM – Prayers For The Damned Vol 1, The project that became a band…hmmmm. I have a soft spot for them but the truth is it’s also an excellent album.

Suede – Nightthoughts, The return of the beautiful ones. Darker and more mature, but it still sounds like a classical “going up” era Suede album.

Leonard Cohen – You Want It Darker, Great album from a Great Poet and Story teller, who has been a great influence to me and shaped my lyrics writing style

Robbie Williams – The Heavy Entertainment Show, Another comeback for an iconic performer and pop rock star! Bad boy Robbie is back to entertain us!

Favorite Books we read this year

I’m really fond of the Greek Fantasy Scene…So here are the titles in Greek Language

«Η Εκδίκηση του Ιάσονα Λεμονιάτη» by George Mesolongitis. An astonishing zombie Horror novel set in the City of Piraeus.

«Ψυχοπλάνης Φαινόμενα» A Dark Fantasy Anthology based on the LCDLVI mythology created by George Belaouris that recounts different cases and encounters of Psychdeceivers.

Best Concert we attended this year

Sober Fest 1 @ Ilion + venue

Great Show with very good sound, featuring awesome Greek bands – Potergeist, Sober On Tuxedos, Rusty Bonez and Deathcrop Valley

Most notable moments of 2016

The Release of our Album “Here Comes The Darkness” and our first Live Show…a milestone in my life, need I say more…? Oh yes, I almost forgot, the GNR reunion of course.

Disappointment(s) of 2016

Everything wrong that is happening around us, over which we have absolutely no control and zero power to do something about it… What’s troubling is that this list is getting longer day by day…

What we would like / wish for next year

Money, fame, insane stardom and worldwide recognition, non-stop partying, lots of awards, even a Grammy maybe and a phone call from Axl Rose asking The Rockin’ Dead to tour the world with GNR for the release of their new album…

The Beatles – Eight Days A Week: The Touring years, The best documentary film about the Beatles and maybe one fof the bests there’s ever been about a band or artist

House Of Cards, A political drama series starring my favourtie Kevin Spacey.

Favorite Albums

The Rolling Stones – Blue & lonesome, They still got the blues…

David Bowie – Black Star, David died leaving behind him a heavy legacy and a final album that shines bright like a star…
